The same thing happened to me about two months ago. Cops call, did you 911?
no! do you cordless? WHY? etc.

The weather was perfectly clear and the phone should have been charged
since it had been in its cradle all night. I decided it must have been
intermod tickling the base reciever, but I really don't know.

Suppose the thing started dialing time and temperature in London in the
middle of the night!
